One of the best-selling boats in the Kokopelli lineup, the XPD has been a mainstay in the quiver for its rugged durability, functionally simplistic construction, and innate versatility to serve paddlers and sportsmen of all types. The updated XPD has shed over 3 lbs of weight and now comes fully equipped with the Delta Series Roll Top Backpack, Kokopelli Alpine Lake Paddle, six stainless steel D-Ring attachment points, Nano Barrel Pump, inflatable seat, 4.5 inch removable fin, commercial grade Leafed D7 valve, two compression straps and repair kit.
More durable and more adventure, right out of the box. The XPD is still, the ultimate entry-level packraft package.
The rugged XPD weighs in at just 10.8lb (4.8kg), packs down small enough to fit in a backpack, and is ideal for entry-level paddlers, lakes, hunting, multi-sport adventures, car camping, weekend-warriors, and anyone looking to (literally) tear it up out there!
To install the tracking fin push it into the fin plate and then slide it backwards until it clicks into place. For longer trips or extra security you can use a 3/32 allen key to tighten the two grub screws on the plate.
HELP & TIPS
The new XPD comes kitted out with everything you need to get to and into the water:
Durability has staked XPD's presence in the pack rafting world and the new one does just that and saves 3.8 lbs in the process. Weighing in at just 10.8lbs the new XPD is the same durable construction in a much lighter package.
The new XPD gets more comfortable cockpit adding 4" of interior space. More room for gear and easier for moving about.

"Easy and quick to inflate with pump. The light weight will be amazing in reaching small lakes off the grid - no wonder it sells out so quickly."
"Great, but a few things… The placement of the seat strap retainer is not good (unless you have a full life vest on, I guess). It is perfectly placed to dig into your back and makes for a painful paddling experience. Was there no R&D on this? Also, my seat strap broke on the second use so I’ll probably just take the buckle off anyway. Be careful with rocks and the floor material, I managed to scratch it deep enough that it punctured through. I wish it was a touch thicker since this is the highest contact zone. A tiny Allen key for fin installation would’ve been nice too, I should’ve checked before I took it to the water. Still, no regrets."
"The XPD is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something to paddle around the lake with my dogs that wasn't heavy and didn't need to be stored on top of my car. The XPD is perfect. I reached out to support with a question about the fin and they got back to me super quick. Amazing service and amazing product."
"Amazing raft Perfect for exploring and the material is strong enough to allow my 100 pound German Shepherd to tag along I highly recommend the XPD to anyone"
"Have only used this limitedly so far but am loving it ! easy to inflate, use and enjoy."
"Light, durable, and excellent customer support. Everything I want out of a pack raft."
"This boat literately changed my life! I love paddling around lakes on weekends with my dog. It's been so fun being able to explore a new way with him and we absolutely love it. Thanks Kokopelli!"
"Perfect"
"I love it! The boat paddles great and is so fun on my local river (The Truckee near Lake Tahoe). It's been a blast and really tough too! I just wish the paddle that came with it was like 210cm instead of 220, it feels a little long for me on the river."
"Well, I like the XPD. The size and weight and quality are great. With the exception of the seat strap. Which tore out of the seat immediately upon use. The quality control needs to be improved as I had a the wrong pump attachment and had to be sent a new one prior to to even inflating to ensure integrity."
